Is it reliable? By that, I mean does it play 1080p .mkv over a gig network smoothly? Have you pushed the onboard video just to see exactly what it's capable of?

I've been wanting a dual-core Ion board for a while for the living room (or my room, depending on how I want to switch the machines out) and if you're willing to part with that for $100, then I'd be highly interested.

  I used it as a HTPC, it does full 1080p x264 encoded blueray rips without issues.  It offloads decoding video to the GPU with VPDAU and CPU usage during playback is like 10%.

  I used Ubuntu with XBMC, there's a live CD version of it for ION machines that turns it into a HTPC appliance.

Zx2slow's comps are always well taken care of.  I got a vieo card from him a while back and it was even packed in the original box and plastic.  It was like getting a new card.

MMMMM tasty.

I'm waiting for my federal tax return to come in and once I get that and get my car repaired I'd be willing to buy that from you.

Seems I'll be getting my return on tuesday and will be trying to get my car fixed at the end of that week or during the following week. Would you mind holding the board until I get my crap cleared up? If you wanna charge a small "stocking fee" or whatever, that's cool.

Alright, let's do this. If you wanna, that is. I've got the cash if you've got the time.

Boston?!?!? Pfff.... that's like 10 minutes up the road.

Just kidding. Yeah, the lan would be cool. I'd be a bit more comfortable getting it that way.

btw, what's the power draw on this thing when it's going full-steam on a 1080p video? Rather, what's the power draw when it's 100% and has a hard drive running as well?

I dunno <50W?  I had 4x3.5" and 1x2.5" HDD, the Motherboard/CPU, 4GB of DDR800, DVD-RW drive and a pile of USB devices running on a 180W PSU and it wasn't even close to pushing it.

Jeez. Soooo... my plan is to get a small (as in 32gig or so) SSD for it and as that would be the only thing running on it when it's on, it would suck up next to no power. There's a website that I would have to search for again that offers adapters for external psu's for small things like this and coupled with my empty xbox360 case, I might be able to pull off my master plan.

Ive seen these run off those power supplys that are built into the ATX24 power plug, this will need a 4 pin cpu connector as well.

This will do it, its 90W and has the CPU 4 pin ($33+Shipping):

You should be able to build it into just about anything that can fit the motherboard.
